I think my introduction to Rockism 101 would be slightly different from yours (and needs some fine-tuning): "The perspective of people who place more value on the creative process than the end product." Here the phrase 'creative process' covers 'originality', 'artist input' (writing/performing/whatever) and 'meaningfulness' (<---yuck!), and as such probably slightly extends the standard rockist criteria.
This 'creative process' may still be worthy of study (eg perhaps Britney's new album was written entirely on a comb & paper <--- tell me more pls!) and shouldn't be dismissed, but if the song is a pile of shite then any enthusiasm for said study surely goes down the drain! Perhaps the song is shite BECAUSE of some interesting part of the creative process, but at the end of the day I enjoy listening to music more than I like reading about how it was made. For some dudes it's the other way round, and as such rockism as I've defined it above isn't necessarily Evil.
